If you look at the start time up the top it started at 18:00 and finished the next morning at 8.55 over 14 hrs which
seems very poor perfomance??? But if you look at the robocopy totals the total time is 2:32 ??? The speed is 22595743 bytes
a second (172 megabits a second) which seems to me a very good performance. If it is taking 2:32 what is doing for the other
time??

Who is Participating?

i done as a test replacing the robocopy.exe on the windows 2008 64 b it r 2 server with the windows 2003 robocopy 32 bit version 5111010 ran the robocopy it finished in 15 mins more of the times i would have been expected companred to the 14 hrs there must be an issue with 2008 64 bit robocopy i have only started testing this so i am not guaranteed it is stable using the 32 bit version 2003 robo but i will see how i get on

What this tells you is that it went through 15502 Directories--all but three were already there so it only copied 3 new directories. It read through and compared 295685 files, files on the source and compared them to what was on the destination--based on that comparison it only copied 118 "new" files (new or changed)--the time it took to copy those "new" files and directories took 7:58--the remaining time of 2:19:44 was used to compare files.

This does not compute with the notes above and so cannot explain this. Can you re-run it again for me and let me know these times again--it should only be showing around 2 hours and 20 minutes elapsed and not 8.
